"The ideal beach read … an irresistible mix of glamorous, thought-provoking and sexy. ... This is Lee’s follow-up to The Idea of You, and it’s just as juicy." --Curtis Sittenfeld

"Worth the wait!"--Good Morning America
"Thoughtful social commentary meets sensual...awakening among the Beautiful People." --Kirkus Reviews
"An illicit romance. The sins of the fashion world. A mysterious past. With CRASH INTO ME, Robinne Lee weaves a sensual, captivating story that’s so deliciously propulsive, I pushed “pause” on my entire life to read it. Such elegant writing! Robinne Lee has created magic, once again". - Tia Williams, New York Times bestselling author of The Missed Connection
"Robinne Lee’s Crash Into Me is the kind of novel you want to devour in one sitting, but savor it slowly because you never want it to end. From the first page you know you’re in for a ride that promises mystery, desire, and danger, both emotional and physical. As if that weren’t enough, Lee delivers sharp observations on Otherness and belonging, the rabid cultural consumption of Beauty, les temps perdus, and the toxicity of the privileged. Make no mistake, in Lee form it is sexy as hell. Or Heaven as the case may be." - Jennifer Beals
In a keenly observed departure from her blockbuster debut, The Idea of You, Robinne Lee delivers a completely new, fearlessly intimate novel of messy, complicated relationships—one that delves into desire, race, power, and the shifting terrain of identity and selfhood.
What happens when a fantasy from your past collides with your reality?
In a complicated marriage and raising her children in Los Angeles’s toxic playground of privilege and power, Cecilia Chen is struggling to find her real self among the many labels assigned to her: wife, mother, artist, daughter.
Until the moment she crashes–literally–into the Anouk Ferrand. It’s been twenty years since she last encountered the enigmatic model on a photo shoot in Mexico.
And it’s this chance second meeting that will upend Cecilia’s life.
Seeing Anouk again forces Cecilia to revisit their brief time together and question where she truly fits in. Can the renewed intensity of her explosive physical and emotional entanglement with Anouk finally give her an answer?
Heartbreakingly real and emotionally layered, Crash Into Me illuminates the unexpected detours that change our lives forever.
